The arrest comes a little more than a month after multiple threats were made against six schools in Mississauga and Brampton, claiming someone will “shoot them up.”
The threats led police to have a noticeable police presence at the targeted schools, and a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were each charged with one count of uttering threats.
